I'm going to go with the gunmetal color. You can see the wheels, and they're nice looking wheels. The black looks good, but gunmetal is better looking to me. Not sure about the purple, but do what you want.

Not for me dude, but you drop the coin, you make it work. I think the wheels are done and you need to toss the key to that one and start a new mod. You're gong back over things that are done and don't need going back over. There's plenty more car.

Quick, You really can't go wrong with either of those color choices. Both look good on your car. I have black wheels on mine with Yellow calipers if you'd like pictures. I do like the purple caliper, and I agree, I think you should do purple lug nuts to match.

One thing I don't like about black wheels though, is that when your tires get dirty from road grime, or after it rains, it really makes the tires "stick out" more. it's much more noticeable that they are not clean haha.

But either way, it will look good!!!

I like the black better, but either one looks good. If you really want to stand out, do hot pink.

When did you get the T's Project kit man? I want one of those so bad!

I think a dark graphite gunmetal that is glossy would look awesome.

I am going to vote for the black wheels and purple lug nuts to match the calipers if they make those.

Black has the tendency to hide faces, plus the flake in the gunmetal will compliment the purple

Most of the time, would never consider it. Wouldn't think twice, but if I had to say I'd probably go w/ black in your case. Its the contrast yet bold statement that it gives off w/ your sc that gets me.
